Abstract: A conveyor system comprising a conveyor and a conveyor weighing apparatus. The conveyor weighing apparatus has a load determination device for determining the load exerted the conveyor on a conveyor support. The conveyor weighing apparatus may have measurement devices for measuring the angle and speed of the conveyor. The load determination device determines the load exerted by the at least section of conveyor in both laden and unladen states, and the results are combined with the speed and angle measurements, and with known system constants, to calculate the weight of material being conveyed.

Abstract: Disclosed subject matter benchmarks and aligns content with target audiences. A user may provide content to a language intelligence platform. Scores are then generated by analyzing the content based on values-specific dictionaries, which reflect values of targeted audiences. Based on a comparison between a generated score and a benchmark values score for the target audience, appropriate action may be taken. Disclosed teachings support multiple layers of comparisons and score calculations including comparisons and scoring of all text, segments of text, and specific phrases to achieve a more comprehensive analysis. Embodiments may determine whether headers or other sections that may garner more attention, are aligned with a benchmark.

Abstract: A material processing apparatus comprises a material processing machine pivotably coupled to a base by a pivot joint that allows pivoting movement of the material processing machine about a pivot axis that is perpendicular to a ground surface. The pivot joint comprises an upper joint part coupled to the material processing machine, and a lower joint part coupled to the base, the upper and lower parts being coupled together by a spindle that defines said pivot axis and about which the upper joint part is rotatable with respect to the lower part. The pivot joint includes a non-contact rotation sensor for detecting an angular position of the upper joint part with respect to a reference position.

Abstract: A material processing device has a rotor coupled to a rotatable shaft, and a rotor control system. The rotor control system comprises a rotor control mechanism with a first engagement member that is engagable with a second engagement member coupled to the shaft. The rotor control mechanism is operable into and out of an engaged state in which the first and second engagement members are engaged with one another. In the engaged state, the rotor control mechanism is operable in a locking mode in which the first engagement member is fixed in position to prevent rotation of the shaft, or in a rotation mode in which the first engagement member is movable to rotate the shaft. The material processing device may be a crusher, a shredder or a milling machine.

Abstract: A conveyor apparatus with a chassis having first and second chassis parts that pivot relative to one another to allow an intermediate section of the chassis to be raised or lowered. This allows the height of the conveyor apparatus to be reduced for transport. When the conveyor is out of its deployed state, the conveyor is foldable and movable with respect to the chassis in a longitudinal direction. This allows the length of the conveyor apparatus to be reduced for transport.

Abstract: A foot abduction brace is disclosed herein. The foot abduction brace can include a crossbar having a planar bottom end. The foot abduction brace can also include a first end disposed on one side of the crossbar. The foot abduction brace can further include a first locking hub removably coupled to the first end in a first position of a plurality of positions, where the first locking hub is disposed in the first keyhole and includes a first coupling feature disposed at a top end of the first locking hub. The foot abduction brace can also include a first footplate having a first complementary coupling feature that removably couples to the first coupling feature of the first locking hub. The foot abduction brace can further include a first foot restraint mechanically coupled to the first footplate.

Abstract: A Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) surveillance system (7) is equipped with an adjustable alarm threshold that suppresses nuisance alarms if liquid level variations in FPSO crude oil and/or other liquid storage tanks (6) monitored by the system do not exceed estimated oscillating liquid level variations due to oscillating motions of the FPSO unit (1) during severe weather conditions.

Abstract: An architectural building block including a generally triangular block having an outer wall, an inner wall disposed in substantially parallel configuration with respect to the outer wall and three side walls, each adjoining the outer wall and the inner wall. One of the side walls includes dual inverse mirror planes and each of the other two of which includes a single inverse mirror plane. At least one the side walls is configured to be positionable so as to mate with a side wall of an abuttingly disposed block, whereby curved structures may be constructed from a plurality of such blocks to form a dihedral angle between each set of two blocks. In one embodiment, the inner wall further includes at least one depression disposed on the inner wall of the block.

Abstract: An article of footwear has a molded outsole which contains a resilient midsole located in the cavity of the outsole and a footbed cover which has a stretch material layer affixed to the outsole and provides a stretch zone. The stretch zone allows the footbed cover to work in conjunction with the resilient midsole to absorb shock upon heel strike or other compression of the midsole to increase comfort. Preferably, the midsole has sections of different hardness in the heel area and the forefoot area.

The conveyor support structure is operable between a deployed state, in which the mid-section and the head section project from the side, and a transport state in which the mid-section is folded to extend across the first face and the head section is folded with respect to the mid-section to extend across an end face of the apparatus.

Abstract: A basestation for a cellular wireless communications network is able to configure itself for operation in the network, by selecting appropriate operating frequencies (in the case of GSM network) or scrambling codes (in the case of a UMTS network), and appropriate transmit powers. This makes it practical for a large number of such basestations to be deployed in a network, within customers' premises, without requiring network intervention in each case.
